The Insider
Last updated: 28th September 2007
In a brand new feature The Rugby Club goes behind the scenes in the Guinness Premiership to reveal the truth about the stars on the pitch.
In the third week we travel to Newcastle to meet performance analyst John Stokoe who gives us an insight into his job and the state of John Fletcher's car.
Your role? Well it starts at the beginning of the week where we will have all the footage from the previous opponents. Hopefully that will give us an insight into what they will be doing in any forthcoming games. After that we would cut up all our games into individual player parts.
Most Vain? Andy Buist. Although there are a few closet fake-tanners in the squad, but I won't divulge any of those to you.
Biggest ladies man? That crown would have to go to Ben Woods. Not that I can go into it in a pre-watershed programme.
Funniest story? Peter Walton said that he was told to eat one banana for every 11 kilogram of weight. Before an international game for Scotland he ate 11 bananas and proceeded to feel sick. I can not decide what is more impressive the fact that he ate 11 bananas and then played or that he weighed 121 kilograms.
The Messiest: That would definitely have to be John Fletcher. If you saw the state of his office and his car - it is a sight to be believed.
